We move mountains
to understand and treat disease.

The Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center is one of five interdisciplinary initiatives tackling tough issues in disease and health.
We consider ourselves the perfect size: big enough to have resources, small enough that we’re open to outside ideas. Collaboration is in the DNA of the researchers that call Utah home, and we know that combining ingenuity with dedication can create a sum that is far grander than its parts. Working together in a rich clinical environment opens extraordinary opportunities for bringing discoveries—whether basic science or population-based—toward improving the health of people.
Why did I come to Utah? Utah provided wide open space, an entirely new canvas, and a place where I could work on long-term goals.
Some of our greatest discoveries have come from taking chances on young investigators with big ideas. We’re committed to supporting junior faculty through inclusive hiring committees, mentoring programs, pay equity report cards, and recognition.
The culture and support provided by the University of Utah makes you want to push the boundaries to make a huge and lasting impact.
Janet Iwasa, PhD, Department of Biochemistry, incorporates Cryo-EM, cell imaging, and X-ray crystallography data into animations that bring the inner workings of cells to life.
There’s a commitment here to figuring out ‘how’ to make our ideas happen, not ‘if’ we can make them happen.
